svchost.exe writting allot to the HD/Readyboost.

I thought ready boost was going to speed things up, instead it's slowed thing
down allot. Then svchost.exe has been slowing boot up times allot even before
I started to use ready boost.

Problem is that I have a system process that is using svchost.exe and it is
slowing down my computer so much during the first 5-10 minutes of starting up
that I can barley move my mouse around the screen!

Anything I can do about this?

Open up Task Manager (ctrl-shift-esc is a nice shortcut). On the
processes tab, click the CPU header to sort. Select the line for the
svchost.exe that taking up a lot of CPU, right-click it, and select "go
to services". You'll see which services are using that instance of
svchost, which might give you an idea of what's slowing things down.
